WHATS THE PROBLEM

Comment by J Krieger

I bet her husband had something to do with it. “Hey doc, can you make them a little bigger?”

 
Comment by Jessica

This is the 2nd story I’ve heard like this in the past couple of weeks. And it also involved German doctors. I believe that other story I heard was about a lady going in for leg surgery and woke up with a new anus. Don’t these doctors discuss with their patients what kind of surgery they’re going to be performing??? Or are they just looking at the patients and saying “Hmm, she looks like she could use a new butthole” ? That’s just crazy!

 

Wow, that’s one hell of a debilitating wrinkle

 
Comment by JoAnn

What’s the rest of the story and what exactly did this woman think they were going to do? When you lose weight you have sagging skin. How did this she think they were going to “smooth” out her skin without either removing the excess skin or enlarging the breast? I find it hard to believe that they gave her a $5000+ breast augmentation and it wasn’t discussed with her and money paid prior to the surgery.

 
Comment by jeanne

Boy, I’d like to go in for wrinkle surgery and come out with boobs. Did she want them cut off instead?

 
Comment by jeanne

Boy, I’d like to have that problem. What did she want them to do, cut them off?

 
Comment by Jerry

I bet that pulled all the wrinkles out. Isn’t that what she wanted?

 
Comment by Mike in Kentucky

She’s upset but her husband? He’s coping with it the best he can.

 
Comment by mj

Sounds to me like the wrinkle issue was taken care of.

 
Comment by Buck Henry

I’ll bet her husband had a hand in this.

 
Comment by Bay

So, first it was a lady wanting leg surgery and getting a new butt, and now this? I guess all that about German precision is just a myth, huh? Porsche owners may want to have their vehicles checked, if Germany’s this prone to screwups where it counts. I’m surprised they didn’t try to do prostate surgery on her.

 
Comment by jim

Is that a BAD thing?

 
Comment by john

This is worth following!!!! If she wins I’m going to contact her council next time I open my paycheck expecting to have my normal pay and find that somebody put a huge bonus in there. THE TRAVESTY!!!!

 
Comment by pookie

It’s probably the only way they knew to prop up saggy breast.

 
Comment by Ryan

So Docs don’t want to listen to patients… makes me wonder why we’re surprised that they keep getting sued for this sort of thing. Oh, and please notice that Germany has UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE! Hint hint.

 
Comment by Alliene

She’s 33. How many wrinkles could she have?

 
Comment by Cathy

Jessica you are too funny! Thanks for the laugh this morning… I totally agree with you.

 
Comment by David Fyfe

Happy Birthday to her Husband/Boyfriend………

 
Comment by Chris

Doesn’t Germany have nationalized health care? I am starting to think that maybe the US should have national health care!!!

 
Comment by Brian

I’m sure the wrinkles are gone now. At least she didn’t get a new bung hole…

 
Comment by BRENDA

AT LEAST THE WRINKLES ARE GONE AND SHE HAS SOME BIGGER BOOBIES NOW SO WHY IS SHE COMPLAINING? AT LEAST THEY LEFT HER BUNG HOLE ALONE

 
Comment by Debbi

Perhaps physicians in the U.S. do a more thorough job of pre-op discussion of the planned surgical procedure with their patients than they do in other countries. Any operation I have had was explained to me in advance, along with discussion of possible complications, risks, etc.

The surgeon, however, is not the only one who has a responsibility in the communication process.
The patient has an obligation to ask enough questions to feel that they are satisfied that they have all the information needed prior to proceeding with the surgical procedure.

I hope this patient will have a good recovery from her surgery, and will find that the long-term outcome of this “error” is not so bad after all.

 
Comment by Kenny Hay

I know that we make mistakes here in the U.S but here lately it seems like a bunch of errors have been made overseas.

 
Comment by Greg Bishop

Well if they didn’t fix the wrinkles, at least people won’t be looking at them.

“There’s no way we can fix this. Boys, she’s wrinkly as a pug. I know, we can focus attention somewhere else, pass me those implants.” -Dr. Knockerz

 
Comment by average joe

Silicone is a foreign substance which she did not opt to have put in her body so I understand that point of view.

What I do not understand is that the wrinkle removing surgery on that particular part of the body seems to be a bit unique, which, logically, would have been a topic of discussion and exceptional consideration on the part of the operating team.

There appears to be a complete breakdown of communication at the hospital which means that other people who are patients are at risk. My golden rule is “do not sue” but in this case, of gross negligence, it could save lives.

 
Comment by Maficke

If you’ll note, she recently lost 200 lbs. And she wanted to “remove some wrinkles” after losing some weight. Those boobs were probably so stretched out and floppy that the only way to get rid of the wrinkles was to fill the boobs back up with something!

 
Comment by Debbie

It’s hard for me to believe she didn’t know this was going to happen. I don’t think this is a “usual” practice. I guess I’d have to put myself in that position - I guess I’d rather have the implants than have a bunch of my skin cut off & tossed out! She actually made out better - in my opinion.

 
Comment by Tim_CA

I’ll bet the wrinkles are gone!

 
Comment by mommydoc

As I started to read the article, my first thought was that of course they put in implants; it’s the only way to fix sagging breasts. Look on any cosmetic surgeon’s website for “breast lift”, and you’ll see that the procedure involves scars very similar to a breast reduction along with implants. Extreme weight loss like hers involves an enormous reduction in breast volume, since the breasts are essentially just glands and fat, and only the fat increases in weight gain. There is only just so much of the stretched-out skin that can be removed, and the rest of the slack has to be taken up by implants.

It’s hard to imagine that all of this wasn’t explained to her ahead of time as part of her pre-operative informed consent, but I have found that sometimes patients don’t remember everything that is being told them, since there is such a huge volume of information to process about the procedure, risks, and general logistics of having the surgery. As an obgyn, I spend so much time in preoperative counseling that I often run overtime and make my other patients angry that I am running late.

Perhaps she’s unhappy about the size of the implants and they had to make a decision intraoperatively to use a larger implant because of the sheer volume of skin that had to be removed otherwise, or maybe there was an error made in thetype of implant (silicone vs. saline.) Whenever you see an article like this that has been re-reported several times, you have to know that some of the information has been inadvertently lost or mis-reported.

 
Comment by HANNAH

I WOULD BE PISSED TOO! THE BIGGER THE BOOBS THE HARDER THEY HANG. EVENTUALLY THE LADIES OF THE BIGGER SIDE HAVE TO LIFT THEM OFF THEIR STOMACHS AND LAPS TO OFFER THEM TO A MAN. YUCK

 
Comment by pete petersen

at least her wrinkles are gone.

 
Comment by Gary

Bigger breast add frontal weight which should pull the wrinkles in her face to make her face smoother. Ingenuis concept by the doctor.

 
Comment by Gil

I hope she didn’t have to pay for them. They should at least be “On the house.”

 
Comment by David

Maybe it was a special-Free boobs with wrinkle removal…

She better not loose any more weight or they’ll have to put in butt implants to take up the saggy skin.

 
Comment by Alyssa

How does a doctor (professional) go from smooth skin to breast implants?

I guess on my side it wouldn’t be so much of a problem :)

 
Comment by Jamie

Why sue the surgeons? They took the wrinkles out!

 
Comment by Scott

well, that WOULD eliminate wrinkles!

 
Comment by craig

Maybe her doctors were ‘Hanz’ and ‘Franz’… We’re here to ‘Pump you Up’.

 
Comment by kelly

So… if this woman lost 200 lbs there is no way she had “wrinkles” this lady must have had excess skin…How the heck else could they get rid of it.. either cut the skin off or take up some of the excess space. I understand the whole problem of a foreign substance in her body she didn’t ask for but it seems like there is a lack of communication or understanding of what it might take to get rid of excess skin.. And come one bigger tatas for free what a deal.

 
Comment by Dan

Hooray for bewbiez! :-D

 
Comment by Jim

You can’t just tust doctors, so many people are scared or killed by physicians who screw up medical procedures.
Try to sue them, especially in California, they own the State legislaturem, you can’t beat them even when their conduct is outragous.

Pick your Doctor well, or u won’t be.

 
Comment by rebel yell

I know a guy whose wife had breast reduction surgery (she was huge/beautiful). We (his guy friends) sent him sympaty cards…

 
Comment by Big Al

Boobs for the price of wrinkles, what a deal!

 
Comment by MM

The docs probably decided to throw them in for free as part of the package…so what?

 
Comment by Jeff

Well, she got rid of some of the wrinkles…

 
Comment by Kyle, Houston, USA

Those Germans sure are some kinky folks..

 
Comment by rasabaka

That’s one way to get rid of the wrinkles…

 
Comment by Robin

The only thing I would sue for is a new wardrobe since she can’t button her old shirts anymore!

 
Comment by Robin

i cannot believe that some of you people would say what’s the problem? Not to mention the psychological aspect, maybe she will absolutely HATE the look on her. What then? Maybe she didn’t even like the C cup she had. Sometimes I find mine to be very inhibiting believe it or not! I really would not mind a B cup at certain times, like when I’d like to go braless in the summer…. It’s just like straight/curly hair. If yours is straight you would give anything to have curls. If you have massive curls, you want straight hair (without going through all the make it straight, make it curly crap each morning)

 
Comment by statman

I bet George Bush is responsible for this!

 
Comment by Danny

She lost weight and has a new body, gets implants that’ll get her plenty of attention, and money from the doc……. What more could she ask for?

 
Comment by Jenn

What is the problem here???

 
Comment by Patrick

I wonder if her significant other played any role in this “mistake”.. lol.

 
Comment by Karen Stevens

I want to thank each and everyone of you posters for the most enjoyable morning ever! Your comments - each one of them - brought a new laugh!
Everyone seems on the same page this morning. Thanks for a GREA morning -
each comment better than the last!

 
Comment by Todo

Give her a week !!! When all the dogs start salivating all over her mellons, she will forget all about a lawsuit !!!!

 
Comment by RapidRobert

Jessica’s sidesplitting comment aside, I have complete sympathy for the woman. She probably feels that if she wanted big boobs…she would have kept the originals!

 
Comment by chub

If she lost 200 pounds, she NEEDED a breast augmentation…who’s she trying to kid!!!

 
Comment by Vic

Hmmm… I dont see no problem here. But, if she sues she will most likely win the case and she will keep the big boobies.

 
Comment by Cat

Most likely she will end up using the money she wins from the lawsuit to have further alterations made to her appearance. This is the normal route taken with people who lose a substantial amount of weight such as this. The doctor was probably just doing her a favor with the enhancement. Do I believe this makes what the doctor did right? Of course not.

 
Comment by Jamie

Isn’t this the same country that gave a different woman a new anus when she went in for leg surgery? Do they have National Health Insurance…

 
Comment by Sue

Bet the wrinkles are gone! Too funny.

 
Comment by Dennis

I think these german doctors have got their minds somewhere else, last week it was a new anus on a lady who needed leg surgery and this week it’s bigger boobs on a lady who wanted wrinkles removed….hmmmm wonder whats next? Can hardly wait for next weeks headlines:Man goes in for hernia surgery and comes out with a penile implant.

 
Comment by Mike

So.. Did the implants get the wrinkles out?

 
Comment by Wade

Now, I can understand why she is upset, namely the method of wrinkle removal was not what she envisioned. But what I do not understand is on what grounds is she suing? Her chest wrinkles are gone! Isn’t that what she wanted?

 
Comment by insain1

I’m planing on having that done…..I just hope they don’t add third one.

 
Comment by Walter

What the heck is up with people commenting on this site. Is it just me or is everyone just saying the same thing (some in a different way) over and over. I’ve seen several people say “I bet her husband had something to do with it.” or “Good thing she didn’t get another butt.” or “I bet the wrinkles are gone.” or “How did she think they’d get rid of the wrinkles.”

 
Comment by Teri

Congrates on the weight loss… What type of diet was she on??? I want to know…. Not interested in the botch surgey though….

 
Comment by Connie

Ok! So is it possible that if she was ignorant enough to go on a ‘crash diet’ to lose weight, that maybe she was too ignorant when the Doctors told her in her consultation that the only way to tighten that loose skin, without stupid looking scars, would be to enhance the breast? However, if they did put fake boobies in without informing her, that is a no no. I still say…she should just accept her new boobies and tighter chest skin area and move on. She probably got it cheaper than what the rest of the boob lacking female population pay for theirs.

 
Comment by todd

She gets new sweater bunnys and will get hundreds of thousands of dollars,her husband is happy.
They will both be laughing all the way to the bank. Love those crazy Germans!

 
Comment by Jubal Harshaw

That’s why, when a relative or I have had a surgical procedure, I explain to the surgeon that, while he is, after all, dealing with a number of variables, if he screws up real bad, his hands will be broken for free. The doctor and patient should always agree upon the rules of the knife fight.
When you deal with a ‘profession’ (doctors and attorneys in particular) that “practices” for a living, you must make sure that you do not expect to be “practiced upon.” The real world expects a ‘professional’ to do his or her job. I figure that if the idiot is still ‘practicing,’ he should pay me to hold still for him to continue to practice.
Would you go to an auto mechanic if he said he was “practicing?”

 
Comment by Jenny lynn

Does anyone else notice all of the Huge medical mistakes made in Germany?

 
Comment by Peter Short

I’d like to participate in a surgery that would remove some excess stomach fat and transfer it to Mr Happy by accident. I won’t complain!!

 
Comment by Ramona

Having your breasts made bigger would remove wrinkles on your chest. I have a hard time believing that a plastic surgeon would give her implants without explaining all the benefits and risks. Surgery of this kind requires signing releases.

 
Comment by sissy

Maybe that was HOW they smoothed the wrinkles. Get over it

 
Comment by Gary Bisbee

I wonder if the wrinkles went away?

 
Comment by Bill Clinton

Later her husband was quoted as saying …..”first time in years her boobbs are bigger than her butt”

 
Comment by Cat

Hey Walter, lighten up buddy. What do you think these blogs are for???? Chill.

 
Comment by Bill B

Wow she got a $5,000.00 boob job for free, I bet her husband is happy.

 
Comment by Lisa

At least she didn’t end up with a new anus like the lady that went in for the leg operation!

 
Comment by Hober Mallow

As far as plastic surgery mistakes go, this is not so bad…

 
Comment by Katy

Dude, if I woke up and the doctors had changed the size of my chest, I’d be furious, too. The whole point of the surgery was that she lost a lot of weight, hence the wrinkles. Who’s to say her breasts weren’t already big?

Besides, no one wants to be changed without knowing that that change is going to be.

 
Comment by Michael

Ok so whats the problem? she’s 33 yrs old and she has D cup breasts now. Be happy with what you got. men will not be looking at your wrinkles anymore. They will be staring at the newly formed Twins haha.

 
Comment by Katie

Unbelievable!! It was just a few weeks ago that another woman in Germany woke up to a new anus instead of the leg surgery she was supposed to get. Same hospital..anyone know??

 
Comment by referee333

Breast implants are a common part of a “breast lift” procedure. She should have read the fine print on her contract.

 
Comment by Lana

please tell me about the diet :)

 
Comment by David Q.

I am thinking the Doctor’s should counter sue her to make her pay for the procedure.. Why not give them a chance to fix it instead of just instant lawsuit. I love how everyone is just looking for a get rich quick scheme. Work for you money, sheesh lady it could be worse, they could have given you a penis or something..

 
Comment by Nathan

Ok but - I bet that by increasing the size, the wrinkles were removed. Not seeing the problem here.

 
Comment by Don

Better than going in for a boob job and coming out with wrinkles instead, I reckon.

 
Comment by jaycee

betcha those german surgeons trained at kaiser hospital…LOL

 
Comment by Henry To

I have to say that wasnt that bad of a mistake y
